Aromatherapy during pregnancy – Yes, essential oils are safe

Aromatherapy is safe during pregnancy, although more active oils should be avoided in the first trimester as a precautionary measure and some oils should only be used under the supervision of a qualified aromatherapist.

If essential oils are not used regularly before pregnancy, cypress, chamomile, marjoram and peppermint should be avoided unless they have a qualified specialist in aromatherapy.

Basil, cajeput, clary sage, cypress, mirha, niaouli and rosemary are all right in the second half of pregnancy but should not be used in earlier stages.

Better you're wrong on the side of caution and stick to the oil that is safely known. A small group of these oils can be left alone during pregnancy to ensure that no problems can occur.

Another important note for mothers is that they only use half the normal dose. The normal dose for healthy adults is 8 drops, therefore only 4 drops of essential oil should be used (15 ml of carrier) during pregnancy.

If you want to use 3-4 oily mixtures, a good idea is to mix the oils in larger quantities for the first time, that is, every drop of 4 drops of 12-16 drops, then 4 drops of the actual blend.

Choose two or three oils from the recommended – no need for any oil at once! Enjoy these recipes.

Emotional Imbalances: Mood changes will be very low at the last stage of pregnancy. This can be caused by many things. The mother was very happy with the idea that she was born baby soon, but there may be other times when she is certainly disappointed or angry with any other weight she wears and she can not get it as she usually does.

Controversial emotions can cause mood changes. In the knowledge that these emotions sometimes come to a standstill and accept this, they will have a long way to reduce the effect if this happens.

Essential oils can greatly contribute to the emulation of emotions, and some of the great choices are lavender, geranium, incense, and rose.

A qualified aromatherapist can be a great ally during pregnancy and should be communicated on all issues.
